Finger Lakes wine named top wine at California competition

Seneca Lake, NY -- Chateau LaFayette Reneau 2010 Dry Riesling was named "New World Grand Champion" of all wines entered at the New World International Wine Competition in San Bernardino, Calif.

On its ways to being named the top wine, it won Best New World White Wine, Best New World Riesling, Best of Varietal, Best of Class and Double Gold.

Jim Trezise of the New York Wine and Grape Foundation said veteran winemaker Tim Miller has a long list of "Best of..., Double Gold, and Gold medals but this one is certainly right at the top of his many accomplishments."
